Alchemy is amazing and I defy anyone not to listen to the guitar solo on Sultans of Swing through headphones at top volume. Just brilliant.

And Rank, by The Smith's is also fantastic.

I’m not a Smiths fan really, but the version of Bigmouth on there is incredible. As for Sultans, absofuckinlutely.

Deep Purple. " Made in Japan"

End of thread. Brilliant musicians letting loose. Nothing else gets close

Interesting shout. By the criteria of improving on the studio versions, that album disappointed me; Child in time studio version better; Smoke On The Water, studio version and solo far better...

No No No

Genesis - Seconds Out

Collins' live version of Supper's Ready even surpasses Gabriel's studio original

You just beat me to it. Collins improves all the songs on there. Great live album

I was at one of her gigs at the Eventim Apollo. It transcended anything I have seen before or after. The live album is very good too albeit some of the theatrical narrative is a bit lost without the visuals.

The Doors - Absolutely Live 1970

@mcfcinprague yes yes yes. I mentioned Bob Marley earlier but this ranks as equal. I was about 15 when I got this LP, absolutely brilliant.

The greatest of them all. In fact this was so good that his record company refused to release it as it would show that his image as a black pop singer of sugary ballads was completely fake.
